Tips for silicone around inside a window

[@mountainbreezediy6802]

Hey guys! We wanted to show you our hallway renovation but it's not quite ready yet -so here is a quick video with tips for silicone around the inside of a window. Any questions let us know below :)

[@sparks2109]

This video gave me confidence to do a. job i’ve been putting off for months. (Ripped out old sealant & worried about the finish..hadn’t considered using the moulding blocks). Thanks

[@mountainbreezediy6802]

So great to hear this! Hope it went well!

[@annegroves2648]

Thank you so much for simplifying this whole process and making me finally be able try this.

Nice job! I'm getting ready to do it. Won't there be extra silicone on the sides after pushing it down with the profiler? I doubt I'll get such a straight border. Wondering how to remove it. Did you use any cutters for it?

[@mountainbreezediy6802]

If you start from the largest size of the profiler and work your way down- that way you are not removing too much silicone all in one go (which as you say can cause it to spill out the sides). I normally do 2-3 passes. If you do have any extra on the sides after doing this it will be far enough away from your silicone join that you can just scrape it off without ruining your nice clean silicone line. 👍 Any other questions let us know! Good luck!

@@mountainbreezediy6802 Thank you for the explanation! I see some people use tape to ensure a straight line, but I'll try it your way.

i am renting and the bedroom windows are letting a big breeze in. so taken away the plastic trim to discover where the window offers up to the mullions there is gaps so expanding foam around then putting trim back on. its annoying knowing that window fitters dont put ant insulation around where it meets the brick. something that is expandable. now when the next breezy day comes along it will be fine also got to reseal outsidw the windows aswell

And what happens when it shrinks?

[@mountainbreezediy6802]

It doesn't shrink like regular painters caulk because we used sanitary grade silicone- so you don't get any cracking or shrinking 👍

[@Phjghh]

Can I use it to fill hole in wall caused by nails?

[@mountainbreezediy6802]

This type of silicone is not paintable so I wouldn't recommend it. You can buy paintable caulk in tubes that would work to fill nail holes but I would recommend something like Polyfilla for the best finish👍

[@ANiMALFRiENDS_GOLDMAN]

what about when it's really cold.......brrrrrrr

[@AbhijitShrikhande]

None of these videos show the top side of the window being caulked.

[@mountainbreezediy6802]

It's the same process as the bottom just a little more fiddly 😉 if you have a specific question let us know and we'll do our best to help! 👍

[@AbhijitShrikhande]

@@mountainbreezediy6802 The issue is with the caulk gun not cooperating with the gun holder. Gravity becomes the enemy

Someone didn’t clean their profiling tools

[@mountainbreezediy6802]

Oh they are very well loved 💕

[@skywalkermahone9219]

All I wanted to see is how you did the inside corners and you didn't show that :(

[@mountainbreezediy6802]

Aw I'm sorry! I do it over two days normally- verticals first and then horizontal. That way you can get a crisp angular finish where the two meet. 👍

[@skywalkermahone9219]

@@mountainbreezediy6802 excellent thank you!

[@jaypaquet3953]

Haha out of 100 of these videos, maybe two will be able to actually do an inside corner perfectly without tooling. I don't tool my caulking and it's almost perfect every time.. Especially against a wood, concrete or vinyl siding, you don't want to have to tool it.

Great instructions but your music is awful

Thanks for the feedback Rita!

Great video, awful music.

Thanks for the feedback!

[@macalahan]

What waste of silicone!

[@mountainbreezediy6802]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! But probably less waste than having to do it twice when it goes streaky because of not enough product 😉
